With ratings down for Dancing With the Stars, ABC is looking for ways to freshen up the show, and they may have found a way to keep their numbers from slipping. The answer is ice. Celebrity ice skating competition Dancing on Ice recently had its fourth season in Britain, and ABC wants to bring a similar show to America. ...Except it's been here before, in 2006, when Skating with Celebrities was on Fox for one season with Kristy Swanson, Dave Coulier, Debbie Gibson and Nancy Kerrigan. We've got some ideas for other sporting events that might be more exciting to watch than ice-skating. Again.

Roller Derby of the Stars

Bull-Riding With the Stars
As Hollywood tries to reconnect with Middle America, they could do worse than putting their stars on the backs of some wild bulls. Rodeo bull-riding is an incredibly popular sport, and all it takes is eight seconds for a celebrity to earn a whole new array of fans.

Base-Jumping With the Stars
Each episode, a celebrity has to use his or her fame to gain entry a building, be given a tour of the roof, and then jump off of it. A fast car will be waiting in the parking lot. Getting arrested is an immediate disqualification.
